Review: Revenge of Wonderland

Recently, I went back home to the place where my father was from and where I was raised for a portion of my adolescent years. The thing is, the time between when I was last there and when I recently went had been 30 years. As with most places and people you have not seen in a while, it’s not quite the same. In some instances, it definitely is completely different and when you realize that, is when you typically grasp that you have changed as well.

I know certainly this is what I think of when I go back home to New York. I loved my upbringing, my friends, and my family, but really cannot see living there again. What happens when a place you love, is not what you remembered? In the first volume of Revenge Of Wonderland we find out what happens to a place which has turned into the total opposite of what it was originally conceived as.

WE meet Callie and Violet Liddle, a mother and daughter who
share more than blood as Violet suffered a similar strange ordeal as her
mother, Callie. As Callie ruled as the White Queen in Wonderland for many years
until an uneasy truce made her step down. As things change, so has Wonderland,
and so has that truce, which has forced the Liddles to come back to bout for
the land they once fought for. As we catch up with the Liddles, enjoying their
normal lives back on Earth. As Callie meets an obsessive fangirl of her books,
whose fixation becomes dangerous for all, opening a door back to Wonderland and
trouble headed the Liddles way, in the form of the Duchess. As there is even
more trouble as mysterious murders, sightings of large purple cats and child
disappearances causes Violet to investigate what is causing all these things
and what is their connection to Wonderland. This catches the Duchess’s
attention, leading her to unleash the Clubs, her dangerous faceless underlings,
who take Violet, which leads Callie back to Wonderland to save her daughter. As
we find about the Duchess and how became who she was, as she was not always evil.
We also find out about our other villain, one even more insidious, Mr.Monarch,
a serial killer who has been trapping members of his community one by one. By
book’s end, Callie and Violet battle the Duchess, but eventually win her over
by showing how love is stronger than hate, and though their lives go back to
normal fr now, a worst foe has been awakened.

Overall, an interesting and well told story that injects the reader in to this magical world and does alternate universes right. The story by Raven Gregory is lavish, comprehensive, and action packed. The art by the creative team is utterly elegant and intense. Altogether, an excellent story which more comic book fans should know.
